Meal Planning Monday (23rd April 2012)

Hello all! Happy St George's Day to the English amongst us.

It's Monday and today the children have finally gone back to school which means I can get back into my routine - I don't know about you, but I positively thrive on routine and miss it when everything gets turned upside down by school holidays, although I do love having the children at home.

Yesterday, you may have seen my blog post, I started the C25K programme. Yes, I have found my willpower to get fit and healthy! This means I am also going to try to eat healthily and at the moment, I am really looking forward to it. I've decided not to diet but just be sensible - no crisps and rubbish, and no mid-week alcohol. Gulp.  I'm not calorie-counting but just trying to pick healthier dinner and serve up more sensible portions - certainly with regard to carbs.

So aside from Ryvita and fat-free yoghurts, this week we will be eating as follows;

Halloumi Salad with Houmous Dressing & Pitta Crisps

Chorizo, Potato & Parsley Tortilla with salad

Crispy Chilli Beef & Broccoli with rice

Spaghetti Con Gamberetti E Rucola

Cheesy Chorizo Wedges with lettuce, tomato, spring onions

Okay, so the last one isn't very healthy but Mr M and I have decided Friday Night Food must remain. We need treats!

If you've got any healthy & extremely tasty meal ideas, please let me know!

Right, the Linky is below for those that want to link-up. Remember the #mealplanningmonday tag on Twitter and I'll try to RT. I've been very slack over the past few weeks, both with commenting and RTing but now my routine is back, I'll be better, I promise!
